What an annoying bitch.
So if they're just openly breaking the agreement, does any legal process automatically happen/become possible on our side, or is it a judgement call from the PMs office again?
So fucking tired of this fucking moron...
TACO
Its a bargaining chip.
department of trade war hits again
Trump to hit ~~Canada~~ Americans with new 50% tarrif on Canadian goods.
FTFY. Mexico didn't pay for the wall, Americans did. Canada doesn't pay the tarrifs, Americans do.
The news media has been failing the American public for a long time now.
along with the education system, the healthcare system, political representation, and the military-industrial complex. It's like all of those things have been turned against the citizens of the United States.
Sure but as prices increase people purchase less Canadian goods, so still hurts us.
Maybe there will be fewer purchases. But only if a few conditions have been met:
- there is an alternative product; and
- buyers can switch to the alternative product; and
- the alternative has characteristics that make it more desirable than the Canadian product once prices rise from tarrifs;
Or
- people can choose to not buy a product at all.
If the Canadian products are still the cheapest (or cheap enough), better enough in some other quality (e.g. not diarrhea inducing?), if buyers are locked into long-term supply agreements, or if people just need the product because there are no alternatives and not buying isn't an option, then tariffs don't impact total sales for those products directly.
It would be interesting to see a breakdown of the tarrifed goods against how elastic the demand for them is.
There's no wall
Your statement is contrary to factual reality which can be physically verified. Trump built 705 km of new primary barrier in his first term. Biden actually ended up adding to the wall after initially stopping construction. Since Trump's second term, wall construction has restarted with plans to complete the wall before the end of his term. None of this construction has been financed by Mexico.
Meh.
Good. Double it. Triple it. Cut off all trade.
DO IT
- Doubt
- I'll never, ever, ever, forgot how the US is behaving right now. They're never more than 4 years from being this shitty, we cannot ever rely on or trust any deal they might try and make.
- How about those Epstein files?
On number 2, I won’t either. The whole lot of them too, even the ‘good ones’ are running excuses now. It’s getting that bad they’re starting to blame our countries for not sanctioning them. Don’t they get fucking wild when you tell them to stay home and fix their problem.
For years they took shots at us about our reasonable gun laws, socialist oppression, lack of Fr3ed0m…now they’re bending over taking it, we have to be understanding.

Correct. My immediate thought here is "Under what law?"
They've already gone through this. Trump's initial gambit, the IEEPA, got comprehensively struck down. That leaves him with two options; a law that was intended to address balance of payments issues (very likely to get stuck down in its own ongoing legal trials because, tldr, balance of payments issues haven't existed since they moved to fiat currency), which can only be used to impose tariffs of up to 15%, or a law that can be used to apply sector specific tariffs but only after an extensive investigation. That means they actually have to be able to justify, in court (because they will get sued by all the US buyers affected by these tariffs) the actual economic impact that is being mitigated.
The former is a non-starter - capped at 15%, has to be applied globally, not to one specific country, and based on super shakey legal grounds, and the latter will collapse the moment they're asked to show their work.
I guess they think they found a new law.
I’m just tired of this shit. No deal with the US means anything. No, there aren’t good American politicians who will stand up for what’s right, and you’re never four years away from either a better deal or your deals getting ripped up.
The USA cannot be trusted as a partner ever again. I’ll never ever forget.

This is Trump's way to divert the world from the Iran quagmire he got himself into.
Trump. Rapes. Children.
Smoke and mirrors. Don’t look up.
He's mad Spain photoshopped him out of the team photo yesterday and we're the closest to his reach.

Bring back the digital services tax.
I’m ready to start banning US corporate donors now.
Oh, you donated to Trump, sorry Apple, 100% tariff. Sorry Meta, you’re banned.
Fuck it.
I’m ready to start banning US corporate donors now.
Plenty of people started doing that when the list of corporate donors to Trump's re-election was made public.
Oh, you donated to Trump, sorry Apple, 100% tariff. Sorry Meta, you’re banned.
Don't forget Tesla and Twitter.
I think it's time to start allowing Canadian corn whisky to be called "bourbon".
It's sold as bourbon style whiskey. Better than that Kentucky turpentine.

"The Court's 6-3 decision determined that the 1977 IEEPA law does not grant the executive branch the authority to levy tariffs, emphasizing that the power to tax and impose duties rests exclusively with Congress under Article I of the Constitution."
That was in February, I swear that any Republican whom thinks he isn't anti republic is hiding their head in the dirt.

Ok
Toddler having another tantrum.
Anyways…
Keep going guy. We could use the reminder. Moving trade away from the US needs a lot of pressure to happen to any significant degree.
Move where? They are the biggest economy in the world. Only reason everyone is bending the knee, they don't want to loose access to the sweet sweet American consumer.
The best response to unpredictable neighbours: Canada needs to diversify, maintain strong internal unity, and to focus on relentless self-reliance. Canada has goods the world wants. If the US doesn't want them Canada can and should go elsewhere.
